“Bridging Generations: Parenting Adult Children and Grandchildren in a Changing Cultural Climate”
In this presentation on estranged grandparents and adult children Trevor Crow covers the emotional realities of estrangement, reasons it occurs, and evidence-based strategies for repair and reconnection.
Estrangement between grandparents and their adult children is a widespread and painful issue, often resulting in limited or no contact with grandchildren. Common reasons include past family dynamics, unresolved hurts, differences in values, boundaries, or disputes about parenting styles. The roles of grandparents have evolved, shifting from authority figures to more peripheral participants in their grandchildren’s lives, occasionally heightening tensions. Estranged grandparents often face feelings of loss, grief, confusion, loneliness, and helplessness. Crow will explore strategies for repair and reconnection, reflection to understand, initiating respectful contact, taking responsibility, listening more, judging less, and healing through forgiveness, compassion and love.
